Comparison of SNP-based subtyping workflows for bacterial isolates using WGS data, applied to Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium and serotype 1,4,[5],12:i:.
Besides the technological advances which have pushed the approach forward, the last years have been marked by considerable evolution of the whole genome sequencing data analysis methods. Prior to ...
Heat and health in Antwerp under climate change: Projected impacts and implications for prevention.
change scenarios without adequate prevention based on locally relevant evidence. METHODS: We modelled the urban climate of Antwerp for the summer season during the period 1986-2015, and projected summer ...
Isolation and characterization of the compounds responsible for the antimutagenic activity of Combretum microphyllum (Combretaceae) leaf extracts
activity of Combretum microphyllum. METHODS: The methanol leaf extract of C. microphyllum was evaluated for antimutagenicity in the Ames/microsome assay using Salmonella typhimurium TA98. TA100 and TA102. ...
BruxAir. Short-term health effects of air pollution in the Brussels Capital Region 2004-2011: an epidemiological time series approach.
ensembles and compartment methods are promising methods to deal with these classes of problems, (3) significant relative risks are found, in particular for NO2 (a known proxy for traffic-related pollution) ...
Direct cost saving potential in medication costs due to a reduction in outdoor air pollution for the Brussels Capital Region.
also less severe outcomes such as medication use and purchase. The economic impact, an additional motivator for policy, has been studied primarily for the more severe outcomes. METHODS: Purchase data of ...
Simulation enhanced distributed lag models for mortality displacement.
https://www.sciensano.be/en/biblio/simulation-enhanced-distributed-lag-models-mortality-displacement
Distributed lag models (DLM) are attractive methods for dealing with mortality displacement, however their estimates can have substantial bias when the data is generated by a multi-state model. In particular ...

A molecular approach for the rapid, selective and sensitive detection of Exophiala jeanselmei in environmental samples: development and performance assessment of a real-time PCR assay
microscopic identification which are complex, sometimes ambiguous and time-demanding, i.e., up to 21 days. Therefore, molecular, culture-independent methods could be more advantageous for the monitoring of E. ...
Human biomonitoring of heavy metals in the vicinity of non-ferrous metal plants in Ath, Belgium.
The purpose of the current cross-sectional study was to estimate exposure of the population to heavy metals in the vicinity of the plants, in comparison with population living further away. METHODS: We ...
